Real One Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) Did you guys see the pics and the video of the Megahouse Ride Armor? Its on the same thread that Twoducks posted. http://www.megahobby.jp/special/scoop2.html I ordered the CM's but now I might wanna get these also. Edited January 24, 2008 by Real One
EXO Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 those beagle drawings look good. The rider sits unawkwardly and look at the springs on the hydrolics. If it's anything like those illos, I might have to wait. That megahouse video looks awesome! Thanks real one! I'm kinda happy about the mospeada ride armors, I think they'll make up for all the failures all the Legioss turned out to be (except I'm not going to buy Toynami's cyclone version... what for? I need all the money for the other versions.. Hell, I might get dupes of the others before I even think about getting Toynami's.)
mechaninac Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) Wow! That's the ticket... just going by the CAD renders it looks like this 1/10 offering will be able to actually stradle the bike in a natural, realistic, way. Now all I want to know is when, how much, and by whom? Edited January 24, 2008 by mechaninac
bsu legato Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Now all I want to know is when, how much, and by whom? Really? I only need to know one thing: Where they are.

Its on the same thread that Twoducks posted. http://www.megahobby.jp/special/scoop2.html I ordered the CM's but now I might wanna get these also. The megahouse looks pretty, but all the part removal for the bike (yes I know the forearm panels are supposed to come off to attach to the arms, but I remember that even the old model managed to keep the hip armor on while transforming). Oh and when he yanks the poor riders head off to get the armor on, all I could think was Ouch! Still they look nice, they definitely seem optimized for the ride armor mode, while CM's seem optimized for people who like perfect transformation. I'll probably grab both eventually. I really wish some one would do 1/12. I'd love to display a ride armor with my other 1/12 figures. Of course the ultimate ride armor would be 1/6. Maybe hot toys? Come on hot toys, you gave us a power loader, make me some ride armor!!! Edited January 24, 2008 by GobotFool
do not disturb Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 i'm so sold on the MH ones, someone sign me up already. i don't care if its PT or not, the toy itself look very well made and comes with tons of coll little accessories. also, i'm sort of reconsidering the CMS ones. when you think about the old gakken ones that are around the same size and sell for around $50 with none of the features, it doesn't seem like such a bad deal for $60. i'm still kind of on the fence with CMS but i'm definitely in on the MH ones as long as it doesn't have a legioss/tread price tag.
GobotFool Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 I can't remember if this ever came up in previous discussions of the ride armor design, but I remember how people were talking about how the leg guards are supposed to attach to the lower leg armor to facilitate the ride armors function as a suit of power armor. Did the forward suspension that attached to the arm guards remain attached in armor mode to help with the power armor aspect of the ride armor? From the drawings it looks like that is Beagle’s interpretation of the ride armor.
Knight26 Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Man that beagle one looks awesome, it even has the extending boots per the line art, sweet
KingNor Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 thank god i didn't like this show, those figures are freakin awesome. I had one of the old ride armors back in the 80's from a trip to japan. The "man" part lasted forever, but the bike didn't last even a week. nostalgia wants to make me want these, but i can fight it this time.
Shun Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) Did you guys see the pics and the video of the Megahouse Ride Armor? Its on the same thread that Twoducks posted. http://www.megahobby.jp/special/scoop2.html I ordered the CM's but now I might wanna get these also. thanks! wow that's a nice update. - the weapons set bonus campaign proof-of-purchase (i want the weapons set!! ) - we will have to build-up Rey's extra container parts (model-making... >.<) - the detail-up decals are only for the first issues and only avail at some shops! great for detailing and customizing. I can see numbers belonging to other sub-characters and even a pair of shades?! OMG... someone gonna custom-make the colonel? and what's with the "ET" decal? [EDIT]: comes with a display stand so u can pose the ride armor in a flying pose, although it can stand by itself too. Edited January 24, 2008 by Shun
Shun Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) yeah i know lol.. but are we supposed to stick that decal on the helmets? LMAO... PS > Megahouse please give us that Mint figure!!!!! Edited January 24, 2008 by Shun
protostar8 Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 MH FTW!!! Even though it's not perfect transformation, I like it. I kinda wonder if the head really has to be removed like that or if he did it to show how the transformation works. Also, IT STANDS BY ITSELF!!!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Just watched the vid!!! TOTALLY SICK!!!!!! SO DAMN GLAD I'M GETTIN THEM~!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) * still don't know if the visor can pop up, hope it's not a myth, * - nevermind saw em. * no mint. (exclusive no doubt). FULLY SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited January 25, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
eriku Posted January 25, 2008 Author Posted January 25, 2008 Heh, I actually decided to cancel my preorder for the MH after watching that video. Far too fiddly for me. Looks cool in both modes though.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 How else can it be transformed/done as a toy?
Shun Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 * still don't know if the visor can pop up, hope it's not a myth, * where's the carry packs for Rei? * no mint. (exclusive no doubt). FULLY SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the carry packs? the container accessories? they're shown in the pic above the decals pic. yes, u will have to build them yourself. =X
Twoducks Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I thought for a moment that we were seeing another ride armour by another manufacturer I'm really liking those CAD picks. And it looks like it'll be perfect transformation (won’t the hip parts limit mobility if they do hook up with the boots like the CAD suggests?). Wish Beagle started with Lancer or Houquet instead of the Stick/Rey type, that would mean instant buy for me. I’m already going for a Stick CM and a Rey MH. The MH has a lot of part removing but still looks great.
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Looks very good. So these aren't perfect transforming like the little CMs? I thought the Ride armor wasn't a PT vehicle in the show anyway though right? I will probably get the CMs ones because I want to hold them in my hand.
CoryHolmes Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Jeez... is there anything on that toy that doesn't come off? It looks very, very nice, but I'm not so sold on it.
GobotFool Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 damn, all I thought that had to come off were the front shocks. I may still get one, but I want PT. I'm defineitly going for the CMS.
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 If only there were a way to combine the detail of the bigger scale with the PT of the CMs?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) Can anyone here in the know confirm if it is remotely possible for a "perfect transformation" Ride Armour? Let's clear this up, coz ppl are starting to bit$h. Shun, yeah i saw it after re-looking the page, i'm not worried about making it myself, infact that's cool in my books. Edited January 25, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
Arthurius Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Wow, the video of the MH was awasome, so glad i am getting both characters. I do hope that the beagle wont be much much much better than the megahouse though. I would only be getting from one company prefereably, and the size of the MH seems perfect as it must be smaller than my 1/48 valks.

The old Gakken is about 1/8 I think, so the beagle at 1/10 should be smaller by a good bit. Edited January 25, 2008 by GobotFool
rei Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Wow thanks for sharing the video. Much better than I hoped. But still quite a bit of removeable parts to deal with. But I'd rather have parts that are supposed to removeable than not.
Vermillion21 Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Great video of the MH cyclone - although, I didn't realize that much stuff comes off the toy during transformation. Whoa. And am I reading right: the CM cyclone is perfect transformation?? Meaning nothing comes off??

protostar8 Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) allegedly it is. No one has seen pictures of the transformation though. I don't know, I still think that CM's just looks cheap even if it is a perfect transformation. Maybe I'll pick one up when they are clearanced. Edited January 25, 2008 by protostar8
malakite Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 WOW! Been away from the forums cause I can't access it from home, I must say, DAMN glad i pre-ordered the MH ones!!
